I rated 20 Major Airlines... so you don't have to

I rated 20 Major Airlines... so you don't have to

20: worst - 1: best

I rated 20 Major Airlines based on allergy policies, whether they have adrenaline, where they travel and more - I also used real life experiences from the Spokin App. I give you the rating, a summary but if you want to know further information please toggle the topic to find. out.

I was actually surprised with some of the ratings, especially number one.

When traveling to new destinations or regular ones, the airline can make or break the trip. It is so hard to decide from all the choice, which one to go for - and on top of that they don’t make it easy to find all the information in one place.

Well, I have had enough and I want you to take back some control and relieve some of the stress in travel. I want this to be your guide, your go-to. Not only have I rated the airlines, I wanted you to have a place where you can come back and find out their information.

Sometimes airlines are very different on board than they are online - some in a good way and others in a bad way. There are a lot of reviews where they have gone against their online policy on board, and when you are in the throws of dealing with flight crew its too much to have to go and find the information - well here it is. I have mainly copied their relevant information from their website so there is not misinerpreation.

If you disagree with my ratings please comment below - remember that everyone has different experiences based on their specific allergens, flight crew, policies and more. . I did not rate them based on one factor and some of them where difficult decisions but most importantly I wanted you to have all the facts.

I want you to use this as a guide for when you are booking your next trip!

💉- Carry adrenline on board (I called a lot of customer services) - this needs to be updated as some airlines I was unable to get a direct answer.

I hope you fly safely, advocate for yourself, bring safe snacks and enjoy your destination!
